About this opportunity
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has awarded contract 70SBUR26P00000013 to the International Organization of Migration on a sole-source basis for home country support services related to the Miss L. v. Immigration and Customs Enforcement court settlement.
The rationale centers on urgency and IOM's unique qualifications. The Secretary of Homeland Security transferred administration of these services from ICE to USCIS in late fiscal year 2025, with decisions finalized in April 2026. A competitive procurement would require 120 days of lead time, which would exceed the September 13, 2026 deadline before the current contract expires on September 12, 2026. Without award by that date, service continuity would lapse, exposing the government to litigation and leaving ongoing cases unmanaged. IOM is identified as the sole organization with the capabilities to provide the court-ordered reunification services, having successfully performed these services since August 13, 2021. Authority cited is 41 U.S.C. 1901.
The base period runs six months from September 13, 2026 through March 12, 2027 as a continuation of existing contract 70RDAD21C00000011. Services include assistance with parole and employment authorization applications, documentation acquisition for country exit and U.S. entry, fingerprint collection, embassy interview scheduling, international travel arrangements, special travel assistance, pre-departure briefings and health checks, airport and port-of-entry assistance, post-reunification support including behavioral health services, and a toll-free help desk for domestic and overseas callers. Funding source is Immigration Examination Fees Appropriated for Fiscal Year 2026. USCIS plans market research for alternative vendors by November 20, 2026, with a new competitive solicitation targeted for January 7, 2027.
